VMware 2.0 beta server performance

Posted on Wednesday 12 March 2008

VMware server has been in beta since November, 2007, and you can try it out for free by going to their site. Don’t. It’s unstable and has performance problems - I had to manually reboot our machine at least twice a week because the virtual servers became unresponsive. I originally thought that the problems were caused by the CentOS kernel I was using, but while the problems were lessened after changing it, they persisted.

After downgrading to (the also free) VMware server 1.0.4, the virtual servers have been working like a swiss watch for a couple weeks.
